About ICCP SBI Venture Partners

ICCP SBI Venture Partners is a joint venture between ICCP Venture Partners — the Philippines' longest continuously operating venture capital firm, tracing back to 1998 — and SBI Holdings, a major Japanese financial services group. Based in Makati, the firm had made 31 investments as of November 2023, combining ICCP's decades of local market experience with SBI's regional capital and network.

Confirmed portfolio includes Philippine sari-sari store platform GrowSari, Singapore-based AI recruitment platform X0PA AI, and Singapore-based proptech marketplace Propseller — reflecting a mandate that reaches beyond the Philippines into wider Southeast Asian technology deals.

Investment Thesis

ICCP SBI backs technology-enabled companies from seed through growth stage, drawing on ICCP's long local track record for Philippine sourcing and SBI's balance sheet and regional network for follow-on capital and cross-border connections. Its confirmed deals span e-commerce/retail-enablement (GrowSari), AI-driven recruitment (X0PA AI), and proptech (Propseller), suggesting a generalist technology mandate rather than a narrow sector focus, applied across both the Philippines and neighboring Southeast Asian markets.

Future Now Ventures

VC Fund Active

Future Now Ventures is an independent, Makati-based early and growth-stage venture capital firm founded in 2014 by John Orrock. It has made 32 investments to date, with one portfolio company reaching IPO and four acquired — a track record that predates much of the Philippines' recent startup-funding wave. Confirmed portfolio includes AutoDeal, an online car marketplace; HR and payroll platform Salarium, which the firm backed in 2016 (Salarium later shut down in 2023, a real, honestly-disclosed outcome rather than an ongoing success); recruitment platform Kalibrr; and flexible workspace marketplace FlySpaces.

Core Capital

Editorial Pick

Core Capital

VC Fund Active

Core Capital is a Manila-based venture capital firm founded in 2018 by partners Jason Gaisano, Ken Ngo, and Carlo Chen-Delantar, with five partners and nine or more confirmed investments to date. Its flagship investment vehicle, the Gobi-Core Philippine Fund, is co-managed jointly with Pan-Asian VC firm Gobi Partners — already a separate entry in this directory — which makes Core Capital the Philippine general partner behind that joint fund rather than a fully independent, unconnected firm. Confirmed portfolio includes Humble Sustainability, a circular-economy/sustainability company, and Edukasyon.ph, a Philippine education-and-careers platform.

Foxmont Capital Partners

VC Fund Active

Foxmont Capital Partners is a Philippines-focused venture capital firm founded in 2018, investing in early-stage, tech-enabled startups from seed through Series A (and, with its newest fund, up to Series B). Since inception it has deployed more than PHP 1 billion across two earlier funds. In 2025, Foxmont announced a $30 million first close for its third fund, anchored by the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF) — the first development finance institution commitment to a Philippine-focused early-growth fund — with Grab Holdings also participating. More than half of that first close came from Philippine family offices.
